The area is very urban (address density 2,290 addresses per km²), yet it feels surprisingly green thanks to the adjacent park. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the figures speak for themselves: most homes are owner-occupied (59%), and the housing stock is relatively modern, 80% was built between 1990 and 2010. The Vliegenbos neighbourhood is a quiet, well-to-do corner of Amsterdam-Noord.
For daily groceries, you have Albert Heijn just under a kilometre away, with SPAR express, Jumbo and Lidl all within a ten-minute walk. Schools are close too: Orion College Noord (secondary special education) is a couple of streets away, and primary schools like DOK10 and IKC De Buikslotermeer are within easy walking distance. A restaurant and a park are both just around the corner, so evenings and weekends are well catered for. The municipality of Amsterdam offers all the cultural and transport links you would expect from the capital.

About Nieuwendammerkade 28A3, Amsterdam
The asking price is 33% above the neighbourhood average of €1,103,000, and it is the most expensive of the five apartments currently for sale in Vliegenbos. However, the floor area (204 m²) is also 33% larger than the local average of 153 m², so the price per square metre (€7,231) is actually in line with the neighbourhood average of €7,231. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the quiet, green location.
The nearest train station is 5.5 km away, so commuting by rail is not particularly convenient from this location. However, Amsterdam-Noord has good bus and ferry connections to the city centre, and the area is well served by roads.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1963). A C label means the home is reasonably efficient but not outstanding, you can expect moderate energy bills. In the neighbourhood, 40% of homes have label A and 40% have label B, so this home is slightly less efficient than the local average.
With 204 m² of floor area, it is a spacious apartment, but the exact layout and number of bedrooms are not provided by the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. The plot size is not given, so it is not possible to confirm any private outdoor space. The nearby Vliegenbos park is just a couple of streets away for green space.
Vliegenbos is a very small neighbourhood with only 21 total crimes recorded in the latest data, which is low for an urban area. The area is predominantly residential and owner-occupied, which often correlates with a quiet, safe environment.
